defenses i both entrances will be mined and protected by heavy artillery 1 washington feb 7.-the plans for r the fortification of the panama canal 1 which have been apprbved by president elect Taft involve the expenditure of t 4,827,682 the plans will be changed within the next two months by president Taft himself to conform to the improve ment m modern ways and means of coast defense " foremost among the changes being worked out by general staff officers is the j substitution of the new fourteen-inch gun i for the twelve-inch guns the plan here ' tofore contemplated four twelve-inch guns at each entrance of the canal twelve ; 1 three-inch guns and thirty-two twelve-inch ' mortars the submarine defense will depend on ' what the army engineers to-night call tho reservation for the defense this ' part of the defenses will cost 600,000 and will consist of two kinds of submerged , mines the new torpedoes and a competent â€¢ number of the ordinary torpedoes in use â€¢ in most coast-defense schemes the total in sight required for this magnificent scheme of defense ls obviously about , 5,500,000 i two years to carry out plans staff officers say this scheme could be carried out ln two years a staff officer who has special charge of the modifications now being made o the panama canal de fense plan says that m addition to the defenses at the entrance of the canal there must be stations all along the line of the waterway and these are to be slight ly fortified but always garrisoned the latter part of the defense will be left to the army proper this same au thority says that the perfected scheme jrlll read eight fourteen-tnch guns thlrty six twelve-inch mortars and sixteen three inch gans it will be thus noted that instead of innocuous fortifications which were dis cussed at the time of the abrogation of the clayton-bulwer treaty by lord paunce fote with this government each entrance to the canal is to be a fortress will make canal impregnable four fourteen-inch guns with their tre mendous power and range assisted by sixteen twelve-inch mortars of accurate fire and great range will be a veritable naval station unapproachable by reason of these high power guns to say nothing of the perfect system of mines m contem plation the twelve-inch mortar with modern fire control is effective at from 14,000 to 15.000 yards the modern fourteen-inch gun lt is said will pierce the best armor at about seven miles each gun will cost 100,000 the total inst given of expenditure for panama inclndes for power plants about s200.000 for searchlights 230,000 and for , the important matter of fire control 436 000 nearly 1,000,000 of the total will be spent for ammunition king's son in vaudeville george christie who may become servla's monarch makes debut special cable

defenses i both entrances will be mined and protected by heavy artillery 1 washington feb 7.-the plans for r the fortification of the panama canal 1 which have been apprbved by president elect Taft involve the expenditure of t 4,827,682 the plans will be changed within the next two months by president Taft himself to conform to the improve ment m modern ways and means of coast defense " foremost among the changes being worked out by general staff officers is the j substitution of the new fourteen-inch gun i for the twelve-inch guns the plan here ' tofore contemplated four twelve-inch guns at each entrance of the canal twelve ; 1 three-inch guns and thirty-two twelve-inch ' mortars the submarine defense will depend on ' what the army engineers to-night call tho reservation for the defense this ' part of the defenses will cost 600,000 and will consist of two kinds of submerged , mines the new torpedoes and a competent â€¢ number of the ordinary torpedoes in use â€¢ in most coast-defense schemes the total in sight required for this magnificent scheme of defense ls obviously about , 5,500,000 i two years to carry out plans staff officers say this scheme could be carried out ln two years a staff officer who has special charge of the modifications now being made o the panama canal de fense plan says that m addition to the defenses at the entrance of the canal there must be stations all along the line of the waterway and these are to be slight ly fortified but always garrisoned the latter part of the defense will be left to the army proper this same au thority says that the perfected scheme jrlll read eight fourteen-tnch guns thlrty six twelve-inch mortars and sixteen three inch gans it will be thus noted that instead of innocuous fortifications which were dis cussed at the time of the abrogation of the clayton-bulwer treaty by lord paunce fote with this government each entrance to the canal is to be a fortress will make canal impregnable four fourteen-inch guns with their tre mendous power and range assisted by sixteen twelve-inch mortars of accurate fire and great range will be a veritable naval station unapproachable by reason of these high power guns to say nothing of the perfect system of mines m contem plation the twelve-inch mortar with modern fire control is effective at from 14,000 to 15.000 yards the modern fourteen-inch gun lt is said will pierce the best armor at about seven miles each gun will cost 100,000 the total inst given of expenditure for panama inclndes for power plants about s200.000 for searchlights 230,000 and for , the important matter of fire control 436 000 nearly 1,000,000 of the total will be spent for ammunition king's son in vaudeville george christie who may become servla's monarch makes debut special cable
